|
Fantastic Four vol 1 1 was the first issue of the Fantastic Four and the first appearance of the Fantastic Four and the Moleman. It was released on August 8, 1961 and has a cover date of November 1961. It was written by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby. Plot The plot essentially breaks down into three sections: first, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thing respond to a call to arms from Mister Fantastic, causing a commotion as they do so; second, there's a five page synopsis of how the Fantastic Four got their powers; finally, the issue concludes with the foursome battling the Mole Man and his monsters. Reception The issue is generally considered to be the start of the Silver Age at Marvel Comics. As a key piece of comic book history, the issue has fared well on the second-hand comic market; for example, the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide for 2010 lists this issue as the second most valuable Silver Age comic issue at $52,000, second only to Amazing Fantasy #15 (the first appearance of Spider-Man).
